CHARLES S. GASTERLIN, OF MASON, MICHIGAN.

CHURN-POWER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,141, dated October 12, 1880.

Application filed March 10, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES S. (JAs'rER- LIN, of Mason, in the county of Ingham and State of Michigan, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Churn-Powers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construc tion and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a perspective view of my improved churnmotor, and Fig. 2 is a detail view of the same.

This invention has relation to improvements in mechanisms for operating churns; and the object of the invention is mainly to produce the upstroke of the lever automatically, thus dispensing with the effort to produce the same by applied force. This object I attain by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The nature of the invention consists in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, as hereinafter shown, described, and set forth in the claim.

In the annexed drawings, the letterA desi nates the base; B, the churn resting thereon, and provided with the usualdasher and dasherrod 0; and D indicates a strong upright erected on the base A, and having at its upper end a fork, 0, across which extends a bar, 1), upon which is fulcrumed an operating-lever, L. This lever is longitudinally slotted, as shown at d, and in this slot is engaged the upper end of the dash-rod C, the two being confined together by a pin, 6.

S indicates a spring formed of suitable spring-wire in the following manner: A wire (N0 model.)

of suitable length being taken is bent at its middle portion to form a U-shaped bearing, 6. The legs or branches of the wire are then bent around a former to form the spring-coils e, the interior diameter of which is greater than that of bar b. The ends of this wire are then secured to upright D.

As shown in Fig. 2, the bearing 6' is under the lever L, so that when the said lever is depressed the coils 6 contract around the rod,

and a certain spring-power is produced, which,

at the upstroke of lever L suffices to raise the said lever automatically and forcibly raise the dasher.

It will be observed that the spring is made in one piece by the method above set forth,- and that by its simplicity of construction it may be readily replaced at a small cost.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a churn-motor, the combination, with the base A, a vertical upright, D, secured thereto, and provided with a fork, a, at its upper end, and a rod, 11, extending across the fork, of a longitudinally-slotted leveron said rod, pivoted to the dasher-rod O, and the spring S, having coils 6 around the ends of rod 1) at each side of the lever, said spring terminating in an extension, e, to form a seat for the lever, whereby the said lever automatically and forcibly raises the dasher-rod, as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES SELEY OASTERLIN.
